3. (50) Let f(x) = x^4 + 2. Find a factorization of f(x) into irreducible polynomials in each of the following rings, justifying your answers briefly:

(i) Z3 [x];

(ii) Q[x] (this can be done easily using an appropriate theorem);

(iii) R[x] (hints: you may find it helpful to write γ = 2^(1/4), the positive real fourth root of 2, and to consider factors of the form x^2 + a*x + 2^(1/2);

(iv) C[x] (you may leave your answer in exponential form).

Q7) Factorise the polynomial f(x) = x3 − 2x2 + 2x − 1 into irreducible polynomials in Z5[x], i.e. represent f(x) as a product of irreducible polynomials in Z5[x]. Demonstrate that the polynomials you obtained are irreducible. I think i manged to factorise this polynomial. I found a factor to be 1 so i divided the polynomial by (x-1) as its a linear factor. So i get the form (x3 − 2x2 + 2x − 1) = (x2-x+1)*(x-1) which is...
